“Is this possible?” Olbermann asked guest Lawrence O’Donnell. “Yes,” he replied, “only in California… it is absolutely possible.”

It sure is.. Boxer, Pelosi, Woosley…

Is it possible an Austrian, RINO, Hack actor with a heavy accent would somehow wind up Governor? Only In California…

Very true , burn.

I think they should hold off on the legalize weed vote too , these Ca voters are already loopy.

“Orly Taitz. If you know the name, you’re already laughing.”

If you think that’s funny, check out how many liberal retards actually believe that 9/11 was an inside job.

The saddest part of tonight’s election coverage is the amount of time MSNBC (Olbermann and Matthews, specifically) have spent talking about Taitz and how the Republican party will handle her on the ticket. In the meantime, in reality, Taitz is being beaten 3:1 by her primary competitor.

Horrible journalism.

Did you guys miss the part where Orly Taitz could represent the Republican party in a state election?

Rather, the story is that birthers are gaining traction, even in CA.

Orly Taitz didn’t win the election but is she any different than Senator Robert Byrd from WV who was a Grand Kleagle in the KKK.

Oooooops…………..I don’t know why those putzes on MSNBC never seem to remember that fact!

What’s worse a Grand Kleagle or a Birther?

LOL, That is a great point, Caryson!

Did you read about that in the current events section?

I can’t believe these two “putzes” chose to ignore that!

Orly Taitz, Sarah Palin, George Bush, Michelle Bachmann — these are the faces of the Republican Party and they represent its combined intellect, too.

” its combined intellect, too…”

which is still 0

I was going there – if IQ were Fahrenheit that’d be a chilly damn room.

Terribly sad that we live in a nation in which not every conspiracy theorist can grow up to win elective office.

Mathews/ Olbermann hopes that she wins, so she can ruin the GOP in California. As one that went to college in SoCal, was stationed their while in the marines, I can tell you that there really isn’t much a conservative base there. There are Republicans, like Arnold, but they are all democrat-light. I moved from that state in ’08, came back to Texas. I for one would like to see the liberals completely take over that state, as a strange experiment. As it is, it is already simply just falling apart because of liberal policies, high taxes, and huge entitlements. It’s in the red, and will be for sometime – with no end really in sight. The California Department of Finance reports that since 2004, more people have left the state than have move to it. Businesses are leaving, to include many in the entertainment industry. Currently they have 13% unemployment, that’s higher than the national average by about 4 points. Please, let the liberals completely take over so we can see, as we continue to watch the train wreck, what unabated liberal policies do in the US.

Going back to 1900, there have been 19 governors of California, including the current one. A grand total of 4 have been Democrats. To say that liberal policies have destroyed California is a gross oversimplification and just not true. It is not that black and white. Or were all 15 of those Republican governors RINOs, including Ronald Reagan?

California state legislatures have arguably been dominated by the democrat party for the last 60 years, and exclusively since 1970 with the exception of the years 1995-96. They have been able to almost vote through their agenda and policies at will.
To imply that a party that has had only really veto power has led California to where is is not only a gross oversimplifaction , but is extraordinarily naive.

So despite basically controlling the governor’s office for 100 years, the Republican party played no part in and has no responsibility for California’s problems? They continually won the office only to literally do nothing, rendering everything that’s wrong with the state the fault of Democrats?

It seems that in California, the local governments have much more power than the state government. To deny that the state is in major trouble, and is a very very blue state, is to deny reality.

I never said California is not a blue state or that it’s not in trouble.

I did not say everything, please do not collapse my premise. ( I aplogize if i seemed to have done the same)
California is an odd state. Democrat controlled legislatures, Republican controlled Govenorships, voted on by the same people. Heath care and education for illegal immigrants, no marriage for gay couples, again voted on by the same people.
I think that the Republican minority in California’s politics have done what all minorities do. They win small victories, bring home some pork and try to get re-elected. Part of that in California, as in all minority parties, means compromise.
If the question though is which party has shaped ,framed and driven Califorinia policy for the last 50 years then my answer is unequivocally the Democrats.

There does seem to be a little bit of voting schizophrenia in CA, no doubt partly due to its size.

Was she born on this planet ?

How’d this work out, Frances?
